bOur end was near;
Our days were over,
For our end had come.
Than the eagles of the heavens.
They pursued us on the mountains
And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
bWas caught in their pits,
Of whom we said, “Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations.”
You who dwell in the land of Uz!
bThe cup shall also pass over to you
And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.
O daughter of Zion;
He will no longer send you into captivity.
bHe will punish your iniquity,
O daughter of Edom;
He will uncover your sins!
